Here are this week's DVD and Blu-ray releases along with my picks of the best of the bunch. First, the major releases (and a pithy one-line review):

- Fair Game: Bush-era political drama with Sean Penn not just chewing up the scenery but actually trying to digest the Washington Monument.
- Made in Dagenham: The fight for equal rights for working women in 1960's Britain is less Austin Powers and more, uh, some other groovy movie.

Nothing wrong with that, either.
I'm getting Black Swan just for that!
